Directions

1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
2 For each packet, place about 1 cup potato wedges and 3 thigh halves onto center of foil sheet. Drizzle with scant 1/3 cup dressing. Wrap each packet securely using double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
3 When grill is heated, place foil packets, seam side up, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 45 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (180°F) and potatoes are tender.
4 Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle each with bacon, onions and pepper.

Very tasty dish-however the dressing burns right up. I've also tried this in the oven which I think helps a bit. I always add more dressing after I take them out of the packets otherwise you don't get to taste the good flavors of the Ranch Dressing.

Very tasty. I couldn't find the refrigerated potatoes, so I just quartered some new potatoes and steamed them in the microwave quickly. Next time I will try it in the oven, just to take less time and hopefully cook more evenly.

Amazing. This recipe was delicious but a little time consuming. I didn't have boneless skinless thighs so I had to de-bone and de-skin them. Make sure to use plenty of cooking spray to avoid burning. The dressing seems like a lot when you are pouring it on but it is definitely necessary.

Be sure to apply enough cooking spray or all items burn badly!! Perhaps cooking in the oven instead of a grill due to the uneven heat. Other than that a good recipe

I thought this recipe was fantastic. I have a picky family and these packets really hit the spot and are easy to make. The only changes that I have made was to add more bacon and a little more dressing. You was a satisfying meal? You found it! Thanks Pillsbury !!!
